Randy loved trucking, collecting horse-drawn implements, tractor pulling, and tinkering in his shop.

I am so sad to learn of the loss of your father and grandfather.
I am sorry that due to previous, unchangeable appointments, I can not make it to his memorial service.
My thoughts, sympathies and prayers are with you all.

My deepest sympathy to Randy’s family. It was obvious how much love your mom and dad shared and now they are together again. I keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
My heart goes out to you. You have had to say Good-Bye to both mom and dad too soon. I remember hearing about how they danced in the kitchen when your mom was so ill — I can’t help but thinking of them dancing in Heaven now instead. 🙂 My prayer is that you will find comfort in each other and the strong family bonds they gave to you. God Bless, Deanne
Our deepest sympathy goes out to you Matt, Mike & Nicole and your families on the loss of your Dad. Your parents were two of the best people ever! I was in high school with your dad. Pretty much kept to himself but always had a nice smile & well mannered. Met your mom at a dance right around the time we got married. (1974). Same year they were married! Always enjoyed working with your mom at school. She was a real firecracker! We always had a good laugh! Had a nice visit with your dad last winter in Tucker’s. He told me how frustrating it was not to be able to crawl up in his truck and drive. I gave him a hug and tried it cheer him up. He smiled and thanked me. Always remember the good times with your parents & keep their memory alive in your children. Prayers to all of you…Sincerely, Debbie, Melvin, John, Reno, Eric & Mat g

My heart is sad for all of you. Randy was a great neighbor to Dad (Tom Grogan) and loved and appreciated Randy for all the times he took the time in the winter to plow his driveway and sidewalks.
